Initial Beast General 'Blood Pattern Black Wolf'

Having made her decision, Vinina gazed at the blue sky and called out:

"Li Xun."

"Miss Vinina?"

Li Xun walked over. Seeing Vinina's cold expression and the ferocious gleam in her eyes, he could not help but freeze.

What had gotten into the young miss?

But Vinina's next words made his expression change drastically!

"Have the War Eagle Squad find a suitable Initial Beast General level monster nearby. I'll handle it myself."

"An Initial Beast General?"

"No!"

Justin, who had been using binoculars to observe below, also walked over from afar. "Miss Vinina, your current strength is still insufficient to face a Beast General level monster head-on. Even with Li and me at your side, it would still be very dangerous."

"It would be better to practice on high-level Beast Soldier level monsters first. Once the conditions are right, we can find a suitable Beast General level monster for you."

"Exactly, Miss Vinina."

Li Xun tried to dissuade her. "This is only your first time entering the Wilderness Zone, and your performance has already been exceptional. You only need more time to build yourself up before you gain the ability to fight Beast General level monsters. There's no need to take such a risk."

Build herself up?

Beast General level monsters?

Vinina was indifferent.

If she wanted a stable life, why had she come to the Wilderness Zone at all? Wouldn't it have been better to stay with the Polenas Family, lie back, and peacefully wait to marry Li Yao?

With her status as a Direct Descendant of the Polenas Family, plus Li Yao—a War God level expert who had fought his way up step by step since the Great Nirvana—if she merely wanted to lie back, she could easily live the life of a wealthy noblewoman.

Then, during the period from Luo Feng's birth to his rise, she could give him a little support. Becoming immortal in the future would be effortless. Why bother leaving the safety of the base city to come to this desolate and dangerous Wilderness Zone and fight monsters?

Stability...

She had indeed fantasized about it.

But the stability she envisioned was completely different from what ordinary people understood!

In her eyes, true stability had to be built upon absolute personal strength. Otherwise, it was as insubstantial as duckweed without roots!

As for Li Yao?

In the original storyline of Swallowed Star, he had indeed been Vinina's husband, and he and Vinina had met their end because of Li Wei. But that had been the original Vinina, not her!

She wanted to become stronger not because she wanted to escape Li Yao, but because without strength, as a weakling, even without Li Yao, there would still be Zhang Yao, Xu Yao, Chen Yao...

Compared to them, what the hell was a War God level expert?

The strongest people on Earth, Hong and Thor, were mere Planetary level ants in the Vast Universe. Above the Planetary level were the Star level, Universe level, Domain Lord Level, World Lord level...

Even if she escaped Li Yao, what then?

Rely on Luo Feng?

Not to mention that before Luo Feng grew stronger, he was just another nobody. Even after he fully matured, so what? Vinina was not Luo Feng's mother. Why would the lofty Galaxy Lord keep his attention on a weakling for long?

Better to rely on yourself than on anyone else!

Only by becoming strong herself could she control her own fate!

Vinina's attitude was extraordinarily resolute—so resolute that even when Li Xun, Justin, and every Soldier of the War Eagle Squad tried to dissuade her together, they could not shake her determination!

Faced with this, Li Xun and Justin could only helplessly report the matter to the Polenas Family's higher-ups. Yet, given Vinina's physical fitness nearing the Initial Battle General level and her proven record of completely crushing the high-level Beast Soldier level Crimson Mantis, the Polenas Family's higher-ups fell silent for a moment before slowly agreeing to her request.

One reason was that less than ten years had passed since the Great Nirvana ended. The five surviving nations still had a strong martial spirit and were accustomed to taking risks.

But part of the reason was also Vinina's own determination.

Everyone chose their own path.

The path of a Martial Artist could never be entirely smooth!

Since the Polenas Family had agreed to Vinina's request, Li Xun, Justin, and the members of the War Eagle Squad naturally could no longer stop her. All they could do was helplessly search for a suitable hunting target for her.

The area near the residential building was definitely unsuitable.

This was a densely built-up part of the city. While they could easily find a suitable Beast General level monster here, that was precisely why they could not let Vinina fight here.

Because they did not dare!

A large number of monsters dwelled in densely built-up areas, and no one knew how many were hidden away. If they found an opponent here and fought it, they would inevitably draw the surrounding monster packs together. At first, it would be manageable—at most several hundred or a thousand monsters. With the support of thermal weapons and the response of Li Xun and Justin, two High-level Battle Generals, they could barely cope. But once they were tied down and the monster packs from the entire city gathered together...

Even War God level experts would have to retreat at the sight!

Therefore, they could only leave the city, move away from the dense buildings, and enter the wilderness.

They were currently in the residential district, the city's core area. To leave safely, retracing their route was naturally the best choice. Thus, after the order was given, apart from the Soldiers assigned to stand watch, the rest of the War Eagle Squad took high-energy food from their backpacks, replenished their strength, and began to rest.

Condition was extremely important in the Wilderness Zone.

And so, they rested until late at night.

Only then did Vinina's group begin carefully descending the stairs.

The formation was the same as when they had arrived. The War Hawk Captain led the way, followed by War Eagle Squad Soldiers carrying combat sabers. The Soldiers using thermal weapons, Vinina, Li Xun, and Justin remained in the center of the group as they cautiously descended step by step.

After reaching the first floor, they proceeded along the narrow, dim paths as before, moving cautiously yet swiftly.

However, since they were retracing their route, they moved faster than they had on the way in.

After bypassing several monster packs, Vinina's group returned to the outskirts of City No. 489 and found a four-story villa nearby to serve as a temporary base.

The next day, they began searching for their hunting target.

This went quite smoothly. Aside from monsters dwelling within dense clusters of buildings, vast numbers of monster packs also lived in the wilderness. Compared to the monster packs in the city, these packs were even larger. Often, a single Beast General level monster commanded hundreds or even several hundred Beast Soldier level monsters. Ordinary Martial Artist squads did not dare provoke them, fearing they would be besieged by a Monster Tide.

But this was nothing to Vinina's group.

After all, their group included Li Xun and Justin, two High-level Battle Generals, as well as two Soldiers skilled in using thermal weapons.

Their chosen prey was a pack of more than a hundred Blood-Stained Black Wolves.

The Wolf King among them was at the Initial Beast General level!
